Carbon nanomaterials, including herringbone graphite carbon nanofibers (GNFH), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and carbon black, were surface-modified by a new poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) grafting process as well as by the conventional acid-oxidation (AO) process, and characterized by FTIR, T...
